I was nervous about weigh in tomorrow and couldn't take it anymore. After all of the poor choices I made over the weekend and on Thanksgiving, I wanted to see where I was at, so I cheated and got on my scale at home and surprisingly down....just a little, but down is down. I would've been ecstatic to stay the same, but going down after the choices I made is even better and no it's not giving me a false sense of confidence.
I've eaten PERFECTLY since Sunday or Monday and am having another "skinny day". Mixed up my detox water last night and drank 3 glasses before I walked out the door this morning and another 23 ozs at work in addition to two 35.5 oz cups of regular filtered water at my desk and I have another 20 ozs of detox water in a bottle right next to me while I snarf down my bowl of cabbage detox salad (see recipe a couple weeks ago - cabbage, apples, golden raisins, yogurt, honey, walnuts, and onions)....so that's a total of 162 ozs of water before 2pm!! Water is a HUUUUUUUGE key to losing weight. Those that can cut soda and replace it with water, even flavored water (no that doesn't include crystal light and other fake crap drinks), lose considerably more than those that do not consume the correct amount of water each day.
So you've heard in the past that 8 - 8 oz glasses of water a day is ideal. Well really that's only the case if you are about 96 lbs. The new "ideal" is half of your body weight in ozs...so a 300 lb person should be consuming 150 ozs of water a day. A 150 lb person should be consuming 75 ozs of water a day and so on. Take your weight, divide it by two and that is how many ozs you should consume on a daily basis. This also means plenty of trips to the bathroom, which is good because you are constantly flushing (no pun intended) your kidneys out. Kidney stones aren't fun for ANYONE!
This leads me to my next topic....yup, pee! You can tell if you need to increase your intake of water by the color and smell of your urine. In a correctly hydrated person your urine should be a very light yellow color and have no odor. If you can smell your pee or it's any shade darker than a pastel, you are officially dehydrated. HOWEVER for those of us to decide to purchase the higher quality vitamins your urine is going to be the coolest neon color you've ever seen HA!
Ok, so maybe I'm weird for thinking the color is funny, but by color you can also distinguish the quality of vitamins an individual is getting. If you purchase low grade vitamins that have their quality and effectiveness diminished by the very chemical that keeps them in a capsul form...you are not getting as many IUs as the bottle says and the longer they sit on the shelf, the more the chemicals deteriorates the effects of the vitamins. I choose to purchase mid grade vitamins at GNC. They aren't as costly and "high grade" as the expensive ones you can only buy online, but they are convenient to purchase, when purchased on the BOGO sale they have every couple months are VERY comparable and sometimes cheaper than brands you can purchase at big box stores, and the capsule doesn't destroy the potency of the vitamins it contains.
P.S. Cold water actually burns calories, because it uses some of your bodies energy to warm up the water, so "yes please" on the ice!
Some things to think about and dang this got long!
So there you have it folks....Happy Hump Day!
Weigh in day for me tomorrow! Stay tuned.................
